I was told many years ago that Sao stood for SALVATION ARMY OFFICER.

Extremely clever ditty.
SAO biscuits are a savoury cracker biscuit that was launched in Australia in 1904 by Arnott's, the term SAO being trade marked in 1904.
The origin of the name "SAO" is unknown. A widely held belief is that the name is an acronym for "Salvation Army Officer", and was named for Arthur, one of the Arnott brothers, who was indeed an officer in the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army Australia

Thankyou for the extra information.

The person who gave me that information more than 40 years ago, was a long established Envoy in the Salvation Army. He had lived & served in England before coming to Australia.
